फ्रांस ने मेडागास्कर राजा की खोपड़ी लौटाई: 128 साल पहले सिर काटकर ले गए फ्रांसीसी सैनिक, ट्रॉफी की तरह म्यूजियम में सजाया था

The person carrying the remains of the remains from France in Madagascar on Tuesday.

France has returned three colonial periods to Madagascar. One of these skulls is believed to be of Malagasi king Toira.

In 1897, French soldiers beheaded King Toira. At that time France took it to Paris like a trophy and kept it in the National History Museum. The remaining two skulls belong to the people of Sakalawa ethnic.

Law made in France to return human remains

This return has been possible after a new law passed in 2023 in France. This law is allowed to return human residues to their original countries. Under this law, these skulls were given to Madagascar for the first time.

After this, France returned to a country for the first time to the ancestors. After this, many countries including Australia and Argentina are also demanding the remains of their ancestors from France.

Now these skulls will be taken back to Madagascar on Sunday and will be buried there. French Culture Minister Rachida Dati said that bringing skulls was a case related to colonial violence and was against human honor.

Madagascar said- It was like an open wound in our heart

Vibramiranti Donna Mara, Minister of Culture of Madagascar, described it as a ‘beginning of a new era’ in the relationship between the two countries. He said that for the last 128 years, the skulls of King Toira and Sakalawa people were not there as an ‘open wound’ in the heart of their country.

At present, scientists have made it sure that the skulls belong to the Sakalawa community, but it cannot be said completely that any of these skulls are really from King Torara.

Macron apologizes for old atrocities

French President Emmanuel Macron began to accept French atrocities in Africa after coming to power in 2017. In April this year, when he went to Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar, he spoke of apologizing for the atrocities of France.

Madagascar was freed from the French colony in 1960. Indeed, in recent years, France has been trying to accept its colonial past. He is refunding objects and human residues robbed in his imperialist era. But earlier there was a problem in this because in every case Parliament had to pass a separate law.

For example, in 2002, South Africa sought the remains of a woman named ‘Hotntot Venus’, which was displayed as a kind of human spectacle in Europe in the 19th century. Now the process has become easier after the new law.
